Mobile/Computing Convergence

As I was talking on Skype this morning to a friend on the other side of the planet, it dawned on me that convergence is sneaking up on us. Increasingly I find that I am using my laptop as a phone (via Skype) and that I am using my phone as a computer...

I have the new Sidekick II and love the relatively full-function web browser and email application. I use it almost every day when I am walking somewhere, or waiting for someone. I read the news, blogs that I keep up with, etc. And I have the email client hooked up (using POP) to my email provider so that I can send and receive messages.

The ability to have the web in my pocket and the phone on my computer is changing the way I work and communicate... Truisms that we all repeat every day but startling all the same when you realize that you are actually doing what you have been preaching...
